Moment of inertia tensor of a solid square pyramid Reference: https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/AD0274936.pdf All outputs are based on an origin at the centered point on the base

Description

Moment of inertia tensor of a solid square pyramid Reference: https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/AD0274936.pdf All outputs are based on an origin at the centered point on the base

Usage

calc_inertia_pyrasolid(w, h, m)

Arguments

w	entire width of one side of the pyramid base (m)
h	entire height of the pyramid (m)
m	mass of the pyramid (kg)

Value

a 3x3 matrix representing the moment of inertia tensor of a solid square pyramid about its center of gravity with z oriented through it's major axis.

CAUTION

Origin is NOT at the center of gravity but at the center of the base.
